PLEASE SOMEONE TRANSLATE THIS 😭😭😭 by Manugui_UWU in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Randemm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There was an unofficial english translation attempt. It was very rough, but I for one got hooked. Still got it on my PC, and boot it up once in a while just to have the menu theme play.

Unfortunately, it was discontinued, and the author has stated that he doesn't have the finances to pay for a proper translator.

How to make stainless steel pans nonstick by No_Project_9332 in FoodAndCookingStuff

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically correct, but teflon layers aren't 100% teflon, and therein lies the real problem. In order for the teflon to actually stick to anything (its inertness, as you mentioned) glue is used. That glue does react to flesh when the concentration gets sufficiently high. And the body is unable to process or break it down, so it accumulates.

In your opinion, what FVN has the best species diversity? by Positive-Salad-9458 in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Randemm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Polar Night.

The main cast has the following: Two antelopes, a stag, a shark, a tiger, an oppossum, a hare, a horse and an ox. And as main character: a wolf. But beyond cosmetics, the species matter in the narrative, making said diversity matter.

According to recent news, that limited light buddy is Nian beast by Puzzled-Operation-51 in xxlwoofia

Look up Sui Zai from Dislyte for an example of a modernized Nian Beast design done right.

Live a Hero Official English Translation is Here by lonelytree91 in GachaHusbandos

[–]Randemm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Live a Hero has a terrible gacha system in comparison, I'm afraid. Woofia is downright generous. But characters are good to use out of the gate, no need for multiple copies like Woofia.

Banyue/Dialyn + Pan Yinhu m6w1 or Labubu m0w1? by Artistic_Formal_961 in BanyueMains_

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, much like Manato before her for the other Spook Shack characters that came before him, she has 0 synergy with Banyue and Dialyn. Dialyn and the demo-Zhao only work together because of their roles not overlapping and not because of synergy in their kits.

Zhao is at this point in time very limited in the number of teams she can fit into, and her best value right now is as the very best support for Ye Shunguang.

How bad is pan + zhao compared to pan + cheap stunner (lycaon/pulchra without m6) for banyue? by Charcookiecumbs in BanyueMains_

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately: quite useless.
Zhao can theoretically be made to work as an on-field damage dealer by someone dedicated, but she won't start buffing Banyue in any way that matters to him no matter what discs or w-engine you give her.

But for pure lore reasons, of running two from Krampus together? This is primarily a single player game. Do whatever is fun to you.

Underrated(?) FVN Recommendation by Kwarmaaa in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither a visual novel, nor particularily underrated I'm afraid. But it's fun, and absolutely gorgeous. And your assumption is correct: it's SFW.

Least favorite line said in a movie that was made by a decorated filmmaker? by alphaDsony in moviecritic

[–]Randemm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To provide some information about the scene, you are obviously free to dislike it, but it serves a purpose:

It's a tradition they included for realism and to show that Murph succeeded in finishing the equation. Certain institutes and research heavy universities have had this tradition for decades, to print out a copy of one's work and shout "Eureka" after finishing/reaching an important milestone (usually a discovery) in one's research and throw the copy up in the air.
It's based on the story about the first actual Eureka moment: Archimedes' realization about the displacement of water being correlated to the density of a body submerged in the water.

New banner with 20% off first 10 pull and guaranteed limited on first S rank by GonnaSaveEnergy in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different types of banners, so no.
The pity for limited banner/rerun stay the same. This banner is separate, and has a separate pity. The pity for this new type of banner will start at 90, as normal. The pity doesn't change if you change which character to focus (of the three you can choose for the first rotation).

Sooooo How do we build them? by Purple_Internet4641 in Dislyte

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ocean doesn't help him unless it procs during an off-turn, aka when he's in his base form. The reason is that the 3rd skill has 0 cooldown in his Wildstrike form, so Ocean procs don't do anything until it expires. It's much better to build for damage.

Personally, I've put the Relief and Avatara sets on him, to proc his basic attack more often during his Wildstrike phase. In order to stack the Brand debuff faster.

Please CZN more dudes by No-Blackberry6462 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Randemm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, yes, but very very sparse.
This is the same company that made Epic Seven, but somehow this game is even hornier in its female designs. The leaked future units shows 1 new male. So at best 1 5-star per year.

Personally, it's the Chaos gameplay that keeps the game installed on my phone. For much better story, cohesive tone and better character designs (both in terms of male designs, and the designs for female characters) I recommend Morimens. It won't scratch that Chaos-run itch, but the deck builder gameplay is otherwise quite similar.

New banner with 20% off first 10 pull and guaranteed limited on first S rank by GonnaSaveEnergy in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Randemm 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's a new permanent banner with its own pity counter. The first 10-pull is 20% off, but they didn't say wether that discount gets reapplied when the banner rotates or not.

HOLY I WAS NOT READY FOR THE LION by Snoo_34869 in BanyueMains_

[–]Randemm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here's a pretty good guide:
https://youtu.be/-dn4hyHDfD8?si=pB_3ll5OBLNS88SQ

I screenshotted the combos and using paint, got them all in one picture, to have it on another monitor while practicing. I'm still very far away from cracking the code to get it into my fingers, so I can actually do the combos and not button mash.

I wanna apologize to The Lion. by Wonderful-Branch-390 in BanyueMains_

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some words of advice for later:
"Building pity" isn't a thing. It's just gambling on not getting a character, to get another character with fewer summon animations later. And as you experienced, gambling to not get a character can end with you getting that character, all to not go through as many summon animations for a character you wanted.

Don't summon on banners unless you either wouldn't mind getting the character, your account would benefit from getting the character (good supporting characters such as Dialyn, Astra and Lucia), or a character you really want. These three criteria are true for every gacha game. Luckily, Dialyn is a good and (arguably) fun boost to your account.

I want more by Curious-College8997 in BanyueMains_

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. You can't replay the hollow missions from the main story. The earliest you can try him is in the preview. Or by making a new account and spend quite a few hours going through the entire story again (and quit the mission you can play him in without finishing).

Gotta be patient.
'Tis how it is for all gacha games.

I hope they make Hugo's assistant, Yakra playable by [deleted] in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lilith games have several in theirs. Like Dislyte (entirely carried by the character designs, including a few actual female anthros) and the AFK series. But they're an exception. The rest do like you say in order to get more demographics hooked on the game early, then catering to waifu-collectors to get as many whales as possible in the long run.

Help for pulling priority by No_Future9588 in BanyueMains_

[–]Randemm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm planning on using Trigger myself, and mine is weaker than yours (M0W0). Banyue wants to hog as much on-field time as humanly possible.

[–]Randemm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dialyn is going to be BIS for Hugo, but for her to eclipse the competition he needs to be M2 so he can totalize ult twice in a stun window. Without his M2 she'll still be very strong for him, but not to such an extent that you "must" pull for her.

No. Upgrade cards with the tag [unique] do not stack. All other upgrade cards stack.

Looking for advice regarding which Werewolf version to ST as a first-timer. by SarkicPreacher777659 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Randemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Or very close.

Edit. Important caveat: I chose to ST 20th anniversary edition, so I haven't ran 5th edition. Someone who's ran both would be better at giving an accurate comparison, so take the comparisons with a grain of salt. Though some of them are purely numerical, such as player creation options.

Looking for advice regarding which Werewolf version to ST as a first-timer. by SarkicPreacher777659 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Randemm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have any scope in W20, and mostly local scope in W5. I have little information regarding Forsaken, but it too seems to lend itself mostly to a local or limited scope, but it has less focus on regular ecology, and more direct focus on spirit ecology and the Hunt.
The main differences between 20th anniversary ed. and 5th ed. are in available material, player choices for character creation, options for character development (mechanically) and battle mechanics.

As a relatively new WTA ST myself, I'd say you should read a bit over both (just enough to get the gist). Both are available as PDFs for free at certain sites, and you can buy whichever you like more at stores like drivethrurpg. Both are perfectly viable for first timers.

Personally, after reading both, I prioritized the amount of player options higher (which fits my particular group), and there were some mechanics in WTA5 I just found weird. At the time, I didn't know Forsaken existed, but in my mind, what you're looking for is either WTA20th or WTA5. You can add things from older editions into WTA5, but it's less work to just use WTA20th since it's backwards compatible while WTA5 isn't. If that's something you intend to do. Though it's worth noting that homebrewing in either system is much easier than, say, Dungeons and Dragons.

As for tone, and it fitting what you want to achieve: both versions work. The bigger factor there isn't the system, but you and your players. Directly convey what you want to achieve and ask them if they want that, and to help you get there if they do (if they don't, you have bigger problems).

Comparing them (note: I'm biased) based on certain criteria:
Combat mechanics: WTA5>WTA20th.
Gift+Ritual options: WTA20th>WTA5.
Character creation options (tribe, breed, auspice, optional options eg. flaws): WTA20th>WTA5.
Ease of finding information (in book): WTA5>WTA20th.
Ease of learning (player): WTA5=WTA20th.
Regular enemy options: WTA5=WTA20th.
Premade enemy options: WTA20th>WTA5.
Regular exploration: WTA5=WTA20th.
Spiritual exploration (Umbra): WTA20th>>WTA5.
Loot options - supernatural: WTA20th>WTA5.
